Behaviour is ; completely erratic on all buffers if individual pages and/or ; page-ranges are attempted. ; Printing the whole buffer (all pages) works fine. ; I have got some ranges to work by expanding the range beyond my ; requirements and then getting the range I'm after. I'm re-submitting this report. First posted 12th Jan 05, no response. Problem persists. Sincerely, Sebastian Tennant
